Court order prevents Potter leak
This story doesn't fit in our general sections, but it is interesting to see how quickly a leak can be covered. In Canada there was a leak of a "few" Harry Potter books. The publishers sought a court order to gag those who had read the book. The order prevents anyone disclosing all or part of the plot to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ahead of its worldwide release on 16 July.Those returning the book will be rewarded with a JK Rowling autograph.
The Harry Potter books have so much hype surrounding them these people could be able to tell so much that only a small number of people know about.
This follows the 2003 case where JK.Rowling sucessfully sued a newspaper for realeasing plot details to the previous book, which they recieved from a couple who managed to purchase a book before the release date.
